K so here's more pics.
Led is a simple strip with a remote that has multiple modes. The best mode for me is where it slowly fades to different colors. Remote is RF so no line of sight needed.
Spraybar pushes the water down the side so it will circulate in a circular motion around the tank and should help with catching excess food.
Two lids on top one for main display and other for pump area.
Pump area is pretty large and can house a heater easy along with more stuff. The tank came with plastic bio balls but I'm going to replace with brightwell xport bio balls. The back is actually 2 sections the pump section and then there's a clear wall with another false fall that attaches magnetically. That way all cables are hidden and come out from the bottom.
Last pic you can see the false wall attached.
Evaporation will be low but I'm still gonna put my spare tunze osmolator nano back there. Fits perfectly and it's all hidden.

Agh that stinks! Well keep us updated please!
Did you ever get your replacement tank?
I was one of the few lucky backers who received a non-leaking tank the first time. However, their pump and spray bar are crap and it has taken a lot of experimenting/replacing jellyfish to figure out the best way to stop the jellies from getting sucked into the filtration by the pump and shredded to pieces. I lost my original 3 jellies. At this point I have had one medium jelly for 5 weeks and 2 smaller ones for 3 weeks, and they are surviving. I love the tank, but the Gratton brothers were clearly in way over their heads, and I am not sure they are ever going to be able to deliver to everyone who backed them. :/ I hope you had better luck than so many others I see posting on the Kickstarter page!
